[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snake304:
Hello, I am a very new user to android and I have done a lot of reading about rooting phone and flashing roms, but I am still confused and if someone can help shed some light for me then I will really appreciate it. Scott has replied to my question about not having multiview then flashing this rom(CleanROM ACE version 4.0.5) will give me multiview with being able to add/remove apps for multiview. I did not do anything yet because I am afraid to brick my phone or afraid I do not like what the rom will do to my phone, so I am asking questions ahead of time. I have a lot of questions. PLEASE guide this lost noob.

1. After I root my phone(CWM) then do I have to install TRWP? I am confused. Can I root my phone then flash CleanROM right away? Or do I have to root then change (CWM) to TRWP then flash CleanROM.

2. Does TRWP have the original samsung galaxy note 2 keyboard layout(have multi language support like the stock version and swype)? I am afraid I will lose the original samsung keyboard layout of note 2 and I hate the look of galaxy nexus or gingerbread keyboard.

3. Can I still download wallpapers from google playstore and install the apk file for the wallpaper after doing this mod with the CleanROM?

4.(Final question three questions) I should use titanium backup or nandroid backup after rooting? Can I revert back to the stockrom with titanium backup or nandroid backup? Will I still be able to receive updates from my carrier(Rogers)?

Please help me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asianhood:
Just following the guide you should be fine.

1. You need to root the phone in order to have the TWRP install.

2. Download GooManager from the Play store.

3. in GooManager Once installed click the menu and select "Install OpenRecovery Script".

4. Download any custom rom and flash it in the TWRP "Following install instruction"

Use the ref here you be safe. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987541

titanium backup is for mainly Apps not for system backup.

To have your orginal stockrom use the nandroid backup is best choice "TWRP is the one for nandroid backup"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snake304:
Thanks for response, but what about keyboard?

Will the keyboard layout change? Will I still have stock keyboard layout? Thanks for the reply. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asianhood:
nope

Your keyboard still stock, nothing change in keyboard, but you have more feature like no bloat apps and free tethering.

How is the Note 2 everyday 24/7 ? I am talking size, do you get used to it right away ?

For people new to the large Note series, not owning a Note 1, how is the Note 2 to one hand operate and just use day in day out ? I have owned all three Nexus phones so far, Nexus-One, Nexus-S, Galaxy Nexus, and now the international One X. I have no problem with the Galaxy Nexus and One X size, yeah they are border line hard to reach top of the phone with my thumb in one hand, but have no problem with 4.7" screen whatsoever, could handle larger I think.

I really like what I see in the Note 2 and am looking for a change from my One X, but worried how difficult is it to use with just one hand, or is this a two handed phone mostly ?

Putting in pocket and then pulling out to answer a phone call ? Any issues with the size ? It fits in your normal type jeans or dress pants ?

Or typing up a quick text, can that be done one handed with ease and fast as a smaller Nexus sized phone ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yoshiikim:
Yea to me i got use it to. i went from a blackberry to the note 2 and it was a big change at first but after the first couple of hours it becomes okay to deal with. After a couple of days you feel like its a normal phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnycreature:
This! It's actually funny to hold/use smaller phones after using the Note II for a while. It fits into my shirt or pants pockets but I'm always afraid it will slip out or I'll sit on it. Making phone calls is a bit odd at first too but it's all a matter of getting used to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thin_Bezel:
Totally true.After using my Note 1 for about 5 months, it was very very awkward for me to hold other smaller phones, especially the iphone 4s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spock2012:
It depends on what size your hands are. Mine are Large/Xl large on glove size. I came from a Htc one XL,4.7 inch screen. I've had it since it came out in Nov. Its awesome! I won't go back to a smaller phone. I love the way the stylus works. I wouldn't put it in your blue jeans though. A coat or jacket yeah. Maybe an otterbox case. I use a leather belt clip case with the original samsung leather flip case on mine. Sometime a bluetooth headset or a wired headphone/mic combination to use google voice commands while driving. I recommend buying it, you won't regret it. I love it so much I bought off contract and put in a straight talk sim card.:cyclops::cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
Thanks for the quick replies.

I am looking to buy it at Best Buy, off contract, they said would match any legit online price. I am currently using Straight Talk ATT

What's the best price for it, off contract ? Like $649 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Its pretty easy to get used to but i can see how it might be difficult for smaller people. Only issue i have is that I'm left handed so the flip cover is a little awkward to operate one handed. It is true that its difficult to go back to smaller phones. Had to go back to my captivate for a day and it felt like using a netbook screen vs a desktop monitor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
My only beef with the Note 2, is the stock launcher and 4 x 4 grid szie, seems ridiculous for such a large screen. But I know different launchers and custom ROM's can easily fix this.

My point being, 4 x 4 or whatever stock is, seems silly for such a large screen. I want it to be like 6 icons wide, x 5 icons tall, that seems to fit a phone like this better. And can't the DPI be altered too ? For a screen this big, I think it needs to be shrunk down, make icons and everything look smaller, would make it look like higher resolution ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spock2012:
I picked mine up @ The At&t store when it first came on in November. I paid 650.00 for it plus tax. They wanted to give me 107.00 credit if I traded it in my 6 month old Htc one x. I declined because it was unlocked. Anyways like you said a custom rom gets you smaller icons,different menu sizes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wgr73:
They will price match. $649 was the lowest I found it, so they matched that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Yes will be easy to get used to. Will have a great time while getting used to it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
I came from the iPhones straight to the Note II. Other than I didn't want to leave fingerprints on it at first, I had no problem adjusting to its size. Within a week of using it, holding my old iPhones felt like I was holding a child's toy. I even subconsciously felt like if I was careful with the iPhones, I would break them by gripping them too tightly...

Once you switch to a different launcher and/or a whole new ROM, you more than likely won't come back to TouchWiz. Not many people do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
Will a custom launcher like Nova, disable the good S-Pen features and Touchwiz Widgets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
Which S-Pen features? Of course, I'm sure someone else is more qualified to answer your question. I know Go Launcher EX allowed most of the S-Pen features.

Touchwiz widgets as in? The clock? That can be brought over to another launcher. Music player? Same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zacharyt86:
I have small hands and after a few days I was still very comfortable with it, it feels kinda awkward at first, especially for making calls, but after a little while any other phone just feels like a toy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsmith0731:
I have no complaints with the size. It fits comfortably in my hands which are bigger than average anyway...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
I got used to the size very quickly. The size allows Android handheld devices to be what they really are Mobile Pocket Personal Computer aka MPPC. I love it.

I would be willing to to go larger. Maybe 6.3" or 6.5".

I came from Droid X and Samsung Omnia i910 (win mobile 6.1).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilmama2879:
I came from a Note 1 to the Note 2 and have no regrets as far as size. Before the Note 1 I had the s2 and was still very comfortable with the bigger screen size. I'm a 4'9" female with small hands and I have no issues with typing, browsing the web, taking/making a call etc. Have customized it with Apex launcher and lots of pink widgets, keyboard, icons and wallpapers!! Holding a smaller phone now just feels funny even with my small hands:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadric56:
For me, the note 2 is very easy to get used to. My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson W508, so i was upsizing by alot, but i have used an ipad before I changed to my note 2. Because of it's size, the note 2 is pretty hard to type a quick text with one hand, you have to use both, but it's okay for me because i mostly use it to watch videos on YouTube with it's giant screen.

It will take a few days or maybe hours to get used to the phone. But after that, you will realize that other phones will feel small to you and the size of the note2 will be your standard size of phone for you.

I hope this helps :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] James-Bond:
You WILL LOVE the Note II, the only thing is when you invest in a good case it can seem pretty bulky.

Everyone I know that has the Note II loves their phone. I don’t think you will regret choosing it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gfrt94yn:
You'll never want a smaller phone after you get the note ii. Ever. I have large hands so this phone is very proportionally fit for me. As for paying 650 no contract, you can probably get a better deal on eBay. Don't quote me on it though. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bigjim1488:
Got mine for 515 on eBay. I don't think I'd get a deal like that again even if I tried.

As for the size, as long as you don't have baby hands you'll get used to it. I came from the s3 and I absolutely love this gem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] asd313asd:
Hes right you wont want a smaller phone! I went from iphone 5 to Note II and every time i borrow my friends iphone its just way to small!

It's been quite a while, but I didn't care so far. My notification tone stops working say after 2 hours after the reboot of my phone [works as soon as the phone is rebooted - for 2 hours!]. I tried setting a notification tone that's in the SD card, still it doesn't work. I have munjeni's custom ROM and as far as I remember, it never worked for more than two hours in my phone even before the ROM update. Is this is fixable?

That's the problem. I can't get the .154 FTF from anywhere. I have another thread in this forum asking for one!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jumpsuit15:
I experienced this problem just this month. on the 3rd and 4th time this happened, I somehow found out how the problem starts and how to solve it.

Usually, when I play music using my headphones, and at the same time I receive some text messages, the notification sounds and even the music cannot be heard(but audible through headphones).

I tried this unusual method, on the first time this problem occurred. Actually, I did it out of nowhere. On the second time, I did it accidentally again, but only after 2 hours when the problem occured. But in the 3rd and 4th time, I prepared for it. Here's how it works:

First, remove the back cover of your xperia go, exposing the speakers.

Then, gently tap the exposed speakers few times, 2-3 will do. tap the exposed speakers directly.

Put back the cover again. Put your phone on Normal mode (if it is on silent or vibrate mode), and check your notification sounds, e.g. lock sounds, music, message tone.

P.S. If ever this one worked on your xperia go, please post it on other forums and tell it to other people that are experiencing this problem.

Also, I only know how this happens and how to solve it. but I don't WHY this happens. Gotta notify Sony. thanks!

I have made a FTF file of the original ICS firmware.

It might come in handy in case you want to restore the phone's original ROM or save yourself from a phone brick ;), just flash it via Flashtool.

Tested myself and it works.

For the newbies: while flashing it via Flashtool you need to press VolDow and plug in the usb to enter flashmode (green led), the image shown in the process might confuse you...

Sorry, download no more available.

Just bought this fone. I hv the following problems: shut off, slow boot, freezes, slow, sometimes cannot make call and hs to reboot.

Reboot must remove battery....frustrated...

I attached a pic of fone version of sw, and fw. The fone is rooted by seller. (Ebay and long gone).

The fone has ROM manager app. Can someonerecommend what ican do from here? Is there a good working rom, i can download and install using rom manager? Thank you very much for reading.

First off your going to need to update your baseband. The instructions are in the stickies get the march 2012 baseband and a lot of your problems will disappear
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nguyenmd:
Hello, i think i did something wrong....

I download the basebandupdate.zip file, i used rom manager to flash. Flash process was sucessful. But then, i reboot the fone. Fone shown LG logo, but then blank on off with black screen....just stuck there.

I then remove the battery, try todo ahard reboot, power and down button, the mailbox and arrow comes up, then LG but then goes in the black screen onoff mode again.

I then remove the battery, repeat the same procedure, but then i hold the up button, the sw update logo display, with indication of "pleasewait for sw update".

From my understanding, i dont think the fone can do any update, the screen displayed the message ,but it just sit there.

Please i need help. Did i bricked my fone? Is there a solution to this? Thank you in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
since you mentioned you flashed it via rom manager, i assume you simply download the file and install rom manager.

basically thats a fake recovery, it is not permanent in other words. If you wish to get a permanent recovery system installed, just use the NVflasher, find it on xda or google, i am pretty sure the sticky has ALL the info you need, literally.

After you have flashed the CWM or TWRP via NVflasher, its time to follow the sticky

download the windows usb drivers, download the lg updater, download the new baseband and flash it with the emulated server (unless you are living in korea i dont think there is any updates via the official updater).

Like the other poster said, the newer baseband fixed a lot of the issues.

once again, read the stickies, it is a freaking gold mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grantusmantus:
Also for future reference.... DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER ON YOUR G2X. ALWAYS flash from cwm or twrp. Rom manager doesnt play well with our phone. Ive gotten to the point where i dont even use rom manager. I download my roms straight from xda, back up, and restore or flash any zip file from cwm. Again do NOT use rom manager to flash anything, Or you will get the problem you just described.
